THE E TiRDLEY-E RN THE BURBLEYERN Jjri'Bifti'ut’a Aftftrrss Honorable Faculty, Schoolmates, and Friends: We, the Senior Class of the Joe Bradley Junior High, about to finish the Junior High School work as planned by the Board of Education of our State and County, present ourselves to you today. We are glad to have our teachers, our school- mates, and friends with us as we celebrate this event, in history, in prophecy, in poetry, and in song. To Mr. Bradley and the great company he represents, we wish to extend our thanks and hearty appreciation for the many advantages given us through our school. To our teachers, we wish to say that even though their counsel has seemed to fall upon deaf ears, yet in the future their advice will be called to mind and make smooth for us many rough places in life. Schoolmates, you who have worked and played with us in the years passed, let us “dream dreams and see visions,” for the ideals seen in these visions will help us to achieve our ambition, but remember, “you cannot dream yourself into a character, you must hammer and forge yourself into one.” Friends, we wish to make this day so pleasant that in years to come when memory turns back the leaves of time you will pause and linger here to renew the joys of this day. While our hands and minds have been trained to enter the various activities of life, our hearts have learned cheerfulness so that we may ever remember that “Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone, for this old earth must borrow its mirth, but has sorrow enough of its own.” Let us be ready when our country calls, be alert to all the demands, whether for heart, hand, or brain, and render her the best service. Never fail to do your duty for we have only “One life, a little gem of time be- tween two eternities; no second chance for us forever more.” Gordon McLure, ’23. THE imaTJLEYEAJjl THE BUIEDEEYEIXJ (History of tljr rutor (Class of ’23 N the dim memory of the past we see a small school house on “B” Street, of Merrimack. In this building some of us spent many happy hours. Others joined us in a larger building on the Triana Pike. It was here that our real struggle for knowledge began. We climbed and climbed until we had finished what was then the Merrimack Grammar School. After a pleasant vacation we returned to a large and handsome building called the Joe Bradley Junior High. Our class was the first to enter this Junior High School. Here many pupils from other places joined us. We studied very hard and were rewarded at the end of our junior year by a banquet given at the Twick- enham Hotel by Mr. Bradley, Sr. September 4. 1922, again found us turning our footsteps toward our beloved school. As the roll was called, we found that several of our former classmates were not there, although new ones had come in. Gordon McLure was elected Class President, and presided over some very interesting meetings which were held Friday afternoon of each week. Julia Dunn, as our Secretary, has kept a record of the good times we have had, and we hope this record will encourage the future seniors to press onward and to enjoy school as we have. As we look back over the past, we see in the small school on B” Street, three teachers, with Miss Mae Crutcher as principal. At present we have thirteen teachers, with Mr. C. V. Fain as principal and Mrs. J. B. Clopton as Senior Class session room teacher. We look back over the past with fond memories and hope the future Seniors’ past will be as rosy as ours. We’ve studied very, Very hard Throughout the whole long “session. We've never disobeyed a rule. At least that's the impression. We’ve always tried to lead at school And never make confession. May in our school, right always rule Thru countless days that shall dawn. —Lillian Smith, Historian, '23. A (Toast to aiurnty-tlirrr Here’s to the Seniors of ’23. Here’s to Mr. Bradley with his heart so free. May the red and the white forever wave on, Through countless school days that shall dawn. Here's to the Seniors of ’24. Here's hoping that Mr. Bradley still holds the door. So that they may enter and their life be As happy as the Seniors of '23. —Mattie Lee Hunt. ’23. TOE TOaPI,F YEIV;N ;TOE BRJVDLEYEIVJN •StattBtira of JEItc- (Class of 23 TAT I ST ICS usually prove dry and boresome to friends and relatives of the Seniors, but we will do our best to make these the most entertaining statistics ever written. To begin with, our school is well equipped to obtain statistics, with the excep- tion of having some scales large enough on which to weigh Chubby Culver. The entire weight of the class is enough to break the strongest bridge in the world, but without the aforesaid Chubby, the bridge would not bend. We would have the tallest man in the world in Jesse Manning if he did not have so much turned up to walk on. His feet are large enough to make a bridge across the widest part of the Tennessee River. The combined height of the class would give us such an enormous height as to let us shake hands with the inhabitants of Mars, but without Jessee Manning and his wonderful feet, we could see them only from a distance. Our combined age is such as to give people the impression that someone is selling all the water in the world at five cents per gallon, but without Sanford Franklin’s age added in, it would be only three-fourths as much. Our feet, placed toe to heel, would reach three and one-half times around the world. Their weight is such as to break the largest scales that could be made. Our brains would attain a weight of such magnitude as to enable us to balance them with the entire world. The value of a high school education being more than $9.00 a day, our total on pay day would be $5,555,555.55, but Mayme Culver spent so much for lip sticks that it leaves a total of only $5,555,505.55. Some of the girls thought they were so beautiful, they took a day off to break the camera, bringing our total to $5,555,333.33. After all these expenditures, we have several bills to pay, which will leave a total of $5,555,111.11. We will have enough money left to buy plenty of rubber heels to carry Mr. Fain quietly through the halls for two years; we can buy a handful of rubber bands and some pins to shoot with them, for the Freshman Class; a stack of paper as high as the flagpole, for spit balls; we can buy enough rouge, powder, eyebrow pencils, and lip sticks to last Cecil Brendle and the other “Sisters” for seven years, six months, five weeks, four days, three hours, two minutes and one second; and last, but not least, we will have just enough left to buy Mrs. Clopton half a dozen demerit books, which she will need for the Seniors of ’24. Taking each word at one ounce, the words spoken by the class in one week would weigh twenty-four pounds more than the earth, Gordon McLure’s words representing the earth and the rest of the class the twenty-four pounds. Mayme Culver and Georgia Speck giggle so much that the stupendous amount of their giggles average 777,777,777 per week, and they are so loud the students upstairs have to wear handkerchiefs over their ears to keep from having their eardrums injured. After the presentation of this stupendous aggregation of facts, 1 will leave you to delve at your leisure time into the more interesting facts of our dear Brad- Cecil Brendle, Statistician, ’23. LEYEAN. THE TMlMLEYElW jp THE BRIVDLEYEFUN Class IJrophery Dear Classmates: I have been requested to write a class prophecy. I am very, very dull in prophecying. If I were as good as Isaiah, the prophet of old, I could telll you the future just now. 1 have been studying and meditating over it all the while, but my studying came to naught. I could get no information from any one. I studied and studied over it, but not one thing could I bring to mind, so 1 decided to go to a fortune teller to hear the future of my classmates foretold. I made a special trip to see him and he told the complete future by taking a magic globe in his hand, and gazing intently at it, he began to talk. I was shocked to hear what a great future the senior class of dear old Joe Bradley High was to have. First of all I saw our great athletic director, Gordon McLure, at the head of a central Y. M. C. A. in New York City. His fame as an athlete was far spread. Next was Sanford Franklin, sitting by his desk in a prominent office, trying to compose a history to be the greatest ever composed, and I hope that he will succeed. As the globe began to turn I saw Lavada Brazelton still trying to make her hair wave to match Cecil Brendle's frizzly, who was the proprietor of a large establishment that put permanent waves in the hair of society ladies. Her hair is now artificially curled, but in the future it will be natural. Next was Jesse Manning, the farmer, ploughing in the sunshine, and enjoying the life of a scientific farmer. The treatment he receives from his wife causes him to sympathize with Jiggs. The globe was still turning as I saw Georgia Speck still trying to reach the top of the hill of success. She has been struggling and pulling to reach the top, now she is there at last. Next is the world-famous Red Cross nurse. Julia Dunn, highly noted for her nursing. ■ As the globe still turned I saw Lillian Smith, feeding the dogs and cats at the same time as she ate her own meals, living an old maid's life. She was very, very comfortable, all by herself. Mattie Lee Hunt came next, as the globe turned slowly. She was a great singer—who had spent many years in Italy taking voice. After a few years spent in Italy, she came back to America to teach. As the globe still turned, I saw Mayme Culver, the great candy maker. She was running a candy kitchen and supplying it with home made candies. But you know all fortune tellers are very peculiar, so this one was no exception, and just here he announced that he was tired and would not be persuaded to tell me any more, so I know nothing of my future, I am sorry to say. Leona Brown, Class Prophet, '23.

Tenth: Mattie Lee Hunt wills her studiousness to one who greatly needs it, Floyd Sharp. Eleventh: Gordon McLure leaves his art of making eyes to Grace Prince, with these words of advice, “Be sure you wait until Mrs. Clopton's back is turned, for her glasses may fool you.” Twelfth: Unto Rosy King, Mayme Culver wishes to impart the deep secret of how she became the class heavyweight. Just eat three yeast cakes a week. A very simple recipe she says. Thirteenth. Lavada Brazelton leaves Thomas Stewart her strong right arm, that he may better win the ball games next year, also these words of advice, “Punch ’em hard.” Fourteenth: Julia Dunn wills her glasses to Charlie Rodenhouser, in hopes that they will influence him to pay closer attention to his studies next year. Fifteenth: Unto Harold Brendle and Leo Wright, we will and bequeath all rights a nd patents of new inventions made in Manual Training.

Twenty-second: Unto Mr. Cummings we will and bequeath a high powered magnifying glass that he may never lock Miss Drake up in her room again.

Twenty-fourth: Unto Miss Bessie Larkin the Manual Training boys of the ninth grade will a pair of stilts in order that she may be seen in a crowd. Twenty-fifth: A new diet has been discovered which is said to be a sure cure for slenderness, this we will to Mrs. Buckner. Twenty-sixth: Unto Miss Ophelia Larkin we will a new pamphlet of yells in order that she may be our leader on all occasions. Twenty-seventh: Unto Earnest Lehman we will Gordon McLure’s short trousers. Twenty-eighth: To Mr. Cummings we will a new Ingersoll in order to save him lots of time by not having to go to the office to set it. Twenty-ninth: We fear Mr. DuBose’s kodak has been ruined taking pictures for the Bradleyean this year, therefore, we take great pleasure in willing him a new one. Thirtieth: Unto Miss Drake we will a periscope so that she may see, even though she cannot be seen. Thirty-first: Jesse Manning wills unto William Hollingsworth his style of penmanship so William will not have any trouble improving on his present style.

Thirty-third: To our beloved school we will all of our efforts and pictures in our Bradleyean, and we sincerely hope they may be enjoyed and profit derived from our shining examples as herein set forth. May they always retain friendly thoughts and happy memories of the Class of ’23. To ourselves we reserve all our high ideals, reverences for truth, faithfulness to duty and ambition for higher places in life, as taught and encouraged by our beloved teachers. These we shall carry through life so that they may help us to the larger and better life we hope to live. In witness whereof, we, the Class of ’23, do hereby set our hand, seal, and do declare this to be our last Will and Testament, on this the eighteenth day of May. 1923. Sanford Franklin.

The introduction of Cinderella in Flowerland” was a most unusual one. It consisted of a vocal solo telling the audience that the Company of children had “sailed from Fairyland o’er the Dreamland Sea.” A picturesque scene for the background of this opening was that of graceful Kewpies swaying to and fro in their dainty costumes. As the Kewpies disappeared, a beautiful fountain began to send forth its crystal spray and suddenly, as if brought by a magic wand, four graceful dancers in filmy costumes appeared, dancing around the fountain. Following this cene came the tiny sunbeams and raindrops. They tripped lightly in, singing and dancing. Audible remarks of appreciation from the audi- ence did not disturb them, whereas the average children would have been com- pletely nonplussed under such conditions. The title role was given to a graceful, yet dignified, little performer. Cinder- ella's fairy-like form responded readily to the music. Her Prince Sunshine was dramatic in every act. His stately bows and gestures would have been a credit mm N the spring of ’21, a most artistic and dramatic operetta, “From Fairy- land,” was staged by a large number of the students. Every act of this performance was executed with marked skill. Doubtless the inspiration ‘THE Mi REVIVE YE IEN THE BRRDLEYERN to a professional performer. Very appealing too, was his rendition of a solo in which he appealed to Cinderella. Assisted by the Flowers he made preparation for a ball given in her honor. Cinderella in Flowerland” was not confined to such numbers as those already described. A witty element was brought in by a group of clowns. Their odd appearances amused even the most silent. Two Black Flowers, or negro come- dians. contributed greatly to the comical phase. Akin to this too was “Mammy’s Churning Song,” given by an old darky of the antebellum type. From time to time throughout the performance, Daisy and Robin conversed, thereby giving the cue to numbers that would otherwise have seemed disconnected. No scene was more picturesque than the Scarf Drill and Butterfly Serenade. The many colored costumes for these groups with the colored light effects, were dazzling. Contrasted with this came the Meadow Daisies in their simplicity. In the last scene the Princess of Sunbeam Castle arrived in all her glory. She was received by the Prince, who discovered that she was Cinderella transformed. These leading characters gave a most effective scene and while the scarf girls danced silently in the distance, they fell asleep to dream of Flowerland. Robin rushed in noisily and with his bugle call he awakened the Prince and Princess, reuniting them. Then came the finale. A big chorus was formed of all the groups. After singing the good-night song they dramatized the final number, a beautiful chorus, “Flow- erland.'’ ‘THE BlilLBLEYEIYN THK BUIYDLEYERJS §rnutmg Girl Scouts of America—Merrimack Troop No. I Boy Scouts of America—Merrimack Troop No. I ‘THE T RBLEY EIX -III THE BUTtDIXYEPtN Baseball Team Flag Salute Basket-Ball Team Off Duty” Rowing Scout Camp Camping THE TiURDLEYEI K THE BUPLTDLEYEFUS Stop §rnuts of Antcrira—iHcrrtmack {Troop !Xo. 1 Executive Committee Joseph J.

Through the untiring efforts of the officers of the troop, great results have been obtained toward establishment of a system for physical development not only for the scouts, but for the entire community. Swimming, boxing, hiking, camping, football, baseball, basket ball, tennis, volley ball, gymnasium classes, and track work have been greatly enjoyed. Good mental exercise is provided for the scouts in passing tests for the different ranks, begin- ning with the Tenderfoot and on through the various degrees until the coveted rank of Eagle Scout is earned. Every scout is required to make a good scholastic record in the school he attends. A real scout tries to do his duty towards God and his fellowman. Any act of kindness or service that the Merrimack Scouts have done for our community can be traced to that great scout oath which every real scout takes and keeps: “On my Honor I will do my best, first. To do my Duty to God and my Country, and obey the Scout Laws; second. To help other people at all times: third. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.’ T«E THE BRMELEYEIU Daily Program, Annual (Camp, fflrrrtmar a roup Ko. 1 Soy fronts of America 6:00 A.M. 7:00 A.M. 8:00 A.M. 9:00 A.M. 11.00 A.M. 12:00 M. 12:45 P.M. 2:00 P.M. 4:00 P.M. 6:00 P.M. 7:00 P.M. 9:00 P.M.

We are proud to know that Joe Bradley School has a Girl Scout troop connected with this great organization. The Girl Scout laws make girls better, more courteous, studious, and strengthens and improves their characters. The Joe Bradley Girl Scouts were organized in November. 1922. with Mrs. J. B. Clopton as their Captain. At the beginning there were only nine Scouts, but they now have twenty Tenderfoot Scouts, and several have passed part of their second class tests. The troop has given several candy sales and several programs in chapel. They are working on a play which they hope to present soon. The Girl Scouts take an active interest in all community work, in all charity, being ready and glad t all times to help in any way Be prepared” is the motto, and this means be prepared to live a better, cleaner, bigger fe, as well as to be prepared to meet the daily emergencies of life. It is not only a duty but a pieasure of every scout to always remember and heed the slogan— Do a good turn daily. THE BTllCDLEYEIEN THE BRTLDLEYEFUS Chrutrraft Cljemtst Club One of the most interesting and instructive organizations of our school is the Chemcraft Club. The need of the advancement in Chemistry is more evident every day so the boys and girls of this club are learning the laws of Chemistry This club has just purchased a complete outfit and literature and are progress- ing rapidly in this most interesting science. The meetings are held three times each week, and many experiments are made. The officers are: Mr. Cecil V. Fain Harold C. Brendle Leo C. Wright . . Floyd Sharp . . . Olive Clopton . . . . .

These pictures are secured from the extension centers such as the University of Alabama. tCyrntm Interest is growing in the lyceum numbers that are brought here by the Alka- hest Lyceum Company each year. These entertainments are always clean, whole- some, and elevating. The interest in athletics in Merrimack is of that clean type which calls for the development of all and recreation for all, rather than specialized few. Bradley School is trying to merit the good support accorded it in athletics by the people and will cooperate in the fight against the professional element that has always proved a menace to sports among amateurs. THE E� RU.DLEYEICn| THE BRJEDGEYETCN Football Team ifootltall |HE football championship of junior high schools was easily won this year, because ours was the only junior high school team in Huntsville or Madison County. Next year we hope to have some competition. War Horse” Sanford Franklin was the principal ground gainer of the team and the mainstay of the backfield. Earl Buford, captain of team, showed wonder- ful improvement at right half back. Thomas Stewart was a steady plunger at full back and always played a consistent game. Cecil Brendle exhibited great head work at quarter back. Curt Hill, at left end, was one of our fastest players. Gordon McLure, at left tackle, was always fighting gamely. Harold Brendle, our diminutive left guard, has the distinction of being the youngest player on the team. Judge Parsley played center like a veteran, although this was his first year. Jesse Manning always nailed a play that tried to break through his position at left guard. Brown Barley, at right tackle, was sometimes down but never out. Ryan Carter made a very valuable man at right end. The subs were: Jack Barton, Lawrence Cleveland, Charlie Rodenhauser, and Noble Graham. A clean bunch, a game bunch,” was the comment of one official. ‘THE TYRIABLEYEFEN THE BUIYDEEYEIYN First Team Basket Ball basket Stall Noble Graham, familiarly known as Skinny,” and captain of the 1923 team, made the best center our school ever had. He is only sixteen years of age. Earl Buford, one of the fast forwards of Bradley’s five, has a marvellous way of shooting goals from every angle of the court, and is excellent in pass-work. Cecil Brendle, the other regular forward, is one of the fastest players to be found. Brendle is only fifteen but plays like a veteran. Sanford Franklin, always cool and steady, continued this good guard work. A goal made on War Horse is justly earned. Lawrence Cleveland has made fast advance as a basket ball player and earned. a berth on the ’23 club. Lawrence is a hard worker and never lets up, whether winning or losing. In Gordon McLure and Brown Barley, the school had two substitutes who could always be depended on for getting results when called upon.

She has done excellent work for the students of the Joe Bradley School. The lukewarm students have grown in enthusiasm as they progressed in this work. It is believed that the study of art can be presented in the light of certain principles which can be developed in such a way as to equip the Joe Bradley School students at the end of the year’s course, not only with a knowledge of material things in the world about them, seen under various aspects and in various relationships, but with such a knowledge of art principles as will give them a better appreciation of the good work of all ages. At the end of the year we shall have done such work as painting waiters, combs, hair clasps, cups, candle sticks, bread boxes, and water colors 1T ‘THE imiLEJLEYEFLN' THE DRPLDLEYErUS Art Club A Valentine Luncheon ‘THE BTIIADLEYERJN THE BR.TVDIXY EEVJS iirounmira Club President Vice President Secretary Treasurer . . . .

Miss Reginia Matlock was our teacher for two years. During this time good results were accomplished, although we did not get our Vocational Building until the spring of 1922. With the completion of our new building we have equipment which is not surpassed by any school, either public or private, in the State. September, 1922, was the beginning of our third year in Home Economics. With a new teacher. Miss Bessie Cureton, and our new building completed, we were ready for a year of uninterrupted work. We began by electing the following officers for the Home Economics Club: President, Gladys Knight; Vice President, Lavada Brazelton; Secretary, Georgia Speck; Treasurer, Lillian Smith; Critic, Lina B. Venable. There are only three grades permitted to take this course—the seventh, eighth, and ninth. Each grade has a total of five hours per week for this work; two hours for cooking, two for sewing and one for housekeeping—the eighth grade having dietetics instead of housekeeping. The first thing the club was called on to do was serve luncheon to the Baraca Class of the Merrimack Baptist Church, at a banquet given in the Merrimack Cafe. At our County Fair the club gave several demonstrations—cooking was dem- onstrated by the ninth grade girls cooking rolls; by the eighth grade girls, sponge cake; and seventh grade girls, biscuits. Various articles, such as candies, cakes, and breads, prepared by our classes were on exhibition. Many articles of clothing and fancy work were also exhibited in our booth. A nutrition class of thirty children who were under weight was served a hot dinner every day for six weeks. On the 14th day of February, 1923, the ninth grade girls invited the ninth grade boys and several faculty members to a valentine luncheon, prepared and served by themselves. This department has planned several luncheons and a banquet to be given before commencement. With the continuation of this department all girls of Joe Bradley School will be able to become better housewives and citizens.

The cause of this remarkable progress is due to the credit of earnest effort and a well equipped shop. We are gradually equipping our shop with machinery, tools, and other neces- sary equipment to make our work more efficient. The first year of our work was devoted mostly to plain work, but now we are climbing into our course where we deal with the problems of a more advanced work. We do mortising. lapping, cement or concrete work, and upholstering. We do not do these around the shop alone, but practice them where needed in our school buildings and our homes. One of the most attractive features of our department this year was the con- struction of a Ferris Wheel, which was displayed and operated at the Madison County Fair, with our school exhibit. Every boy in the Manual Training Course did his bit toward this construction. This wheel was one of the most attractive and unique projects displayed by any manual training department of a Junior High School. Other interesting features of this year’s course are those of making cement brick, framing pictures, and making trays. Our next step is to make our shop more modern by installing a printing press. Those taking the course in Manual Training this year are boys of the High School Department.

Agriculture has been neglected but now it is getting in pace with other branches of science. It has been proven time after time that a scientific farmer is more capable of getting a better production from soil. He knows what plants are best suited to different soils; better how to select seed; how to care for plants at all stages of life; the economy in the proper use of arm equipment; and when and how to dispose of his products. These are some of the facts being taught throughout Agriculture Classes in our school. That these facts be made more interesting and practical, the Merrimack Manufacturing Company has contributed to the school necessary land space and equipment. This is the second year that practical Agriculture, or school gardening, has been taught in our school on a large scale. Last year we specialized on numerous plants, but this year our varieties are limited that a more thorough observation and study of each variety be made. Our plants are raised by students—a great many of them are secured through cooperation with the village greenhouse. Last year we grew corn, cow-peas, sweet potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, onions, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, beans, squash, cucumber, okra, pepper, and English peas. These vegetables were sold at local markets, or else used by fam- lies of participating students. Some of our prize potatoes were among the best seen at the County Fair. The 1923 garden is expected to be larger, better, and give results beyond satis- faction. Preparation has been made for planting. Frost proof plants have been set out already. In a comparatively short time plants from our hotbeds and cold frames will be transplanted into our gardens.

With Miss Mary Esslinger as director of both instrumental and public school music, this department is doing wonderful work. The chorus training of the entire student body is most excellent. Every grade from primary to seniors join in singing the familiar songs and hymns as well as the popular songs of the day. Each year an operetta is given and in that way the patrons and friends of the school can see the talent of the students as it is developed from year to year. Our school believes that by the development of this department we will prove that Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses his inmost self, tastes the joy of creating, widens his sympathies, develops his mind, soothes and refines his spirit and adds grace to his body.

TOTtILDLEYEIEN THE BUFtfOLEYEFUS Side View of Buildings THE BIIRDLEYEIEN THE BRRDLEYERN t ipprttftigs “A SiiUr to (Critar Dottom” N the night of November 17, 1922, the Girl and Boy Scouts of Merrimack hiked to Cedar Bottom. Accompanied by Scout Master Fain, Assistant Scout Master DuBose, and Captain Clopton, they arrived at their destination about seven o’clock. Before very long the whole sky was lighted by a tremendous fire of cedar brush. It took only a few minutes for the boys to cut many green twigs and all were soon very busy toasting marshmallows, wieners, and bread. In the meantime Scout Franklin had buried a half bushel of sweet potatoes in the hot ashes. All the feast of sandwiches, marshmallows, and hot buttered sweet potatoes, spread on newspapers nearby, was very much enjoyed. Several scouts went on a tour and returned with a bucket of fresh water. By the time all had eaten and frolicked it was time to start home. On the way home songs were sung and everyone within hearing distance knew that one more enjoyable evening for the Scouts was drawing to a close. SJoy §routa Entertain On January 17 the Girl Scouts gathered at the Merrimack Hall promptly at seven-thirty P. M. to enjoy an entertainment to be given by the Boy Scouts. Games of all kinds were played until everyone was tired and worn out, but about this time some one yelled “refreshments.” Everyone forgot about being tired and rushed to the tables where the refreshments were served. After enjoying the refreshments we were favored with good talks from Mr. Bradley and other scout officials. At ten o’clock all heads were bowed and we were dismissed after a short prayer. 5fintlj (grafce (girls Entertain The girls of the Senior Class entertained the boys at a Valentine Luncheon Wednesday, February 14, 1923, in the Vocational Building. The table was beau- tifully decorated with a large kewpie doll and red hearts. Three delicious courses were served, in which the color scheme, red and white, was attractively carried out. After everyone had finished the place cards were read and Mrs. J. B. Clopton acted as messenger and gave out valentines. Gordon McLure, the class president, expressed the boys’ thanks for the luncheon in a few appropriate remarks.

With each lesson of two hours duration the night students have an advantage over the day students in that they receive twice as much time for instruction. Any housewife or girl working in the mill is eligible for membership, but no day student can report for classes at night. There being much enthusiasm in the classes caused the enrollment to soon reach twenty, which, when the spring months bring less severe weather, will be doubled and the class will have many beautifully made garments, as well as skill in preparing the most tempting meals, as a result of their labor. THE THE BRIVDIXYKJVJN Textile Eveninc School arxtile £octting frliool HE Merrimack Textile Evening School was organized three years ago, under the directorship of Mr. G. W. Lehman and Mr. Cecil V. Fain. The school has grown by leaps and bounds, and now it seems a perma- nent school. The third year, just closed, proved the best of the school's career. Greatly handicapped by the night run, the school had a large enrollment and fulfilled its purpose to the satisfaction of all concerned. The success of the school was ob- tained through the cooperation of the instructors and pupils, also the untiring efforts of our directors, Mr. G. W. Lehman and Cecil V. Fain. The different classes were taught by the following men: Arithmetic, Mr. W. T. Hulsey: Carding, Mr. H. S. Price; Spinning, Mr. G. W. Lehman; and Weaving, by Mr. P. H. O’Neill. It is an inspiration to see how much interest these men have in their future welfare, and to see the zeal with which they study and work to get the theoretical elements of their daily work. When other men and boys are attending places of amusement these pupils are making a self denial and have ambition enough to come out to the night school. After a day’s hard w'ork they put in two hours study, so they may better themselves for some future date. These pupils should be commended for their interest in their work. The expenses of this night school are borne by the Government, State, and THE BTIIA'DLEYEIX'N THE BRJADLEYEFCN Merrimack Manufacturing Company; the Government paying one-half, the State one-fourth, and the Merrimack Manufacturing Company furnishes the building and equipment and pays one-fourth of the expenses. Of all the many ways the Merrimack Manufacturing Company invests, it is an evident fact that from the money they expend, or rather invest, in school work, they derive a larger dividend, for these men have the practical experience of their work and as they get the theory of their work at this night school, they better prepare themselves to overcome the obstacles and problems that come to them daily in their work. These pupils have at various times expressed their thanks and appreciation to the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, for making a night school possible, and they have shown by their attendance and their interest that they really have an appreciative spirit. (Lite fflprrtntack fHnspitiil The Merrimack Hospital was established by Mr. J. J. Bradley for the benefit of the employees of the Merrimack Manufacturing Company. No one but those who are employed by the company is admitted into the hospital. The hospital is equipped and maintained by the company. A minimum charge is made for the use of the operating room and for board, but all dressings are done free of charge. An up-to-date operating room was built in 1921 and a high class electric ster- ilizer was installed with other necessary fixtures and conveniences. There are accommodations for four patients. Two nurses are employed by the company, who have charge of the hospital and who visit the mill employees and their families to advise and help them in any way they can. These nurses not only look aftfer employees but also the welfare of the school children. tlirtrtira The Department of Dietetics was established at Bradley School in 1922 and a course was offered free to all ladies of Merrimack. Nurses were invited from all the hospitals. Most of the women’s clubs sent a representative to take this work. This most important work will very likely be introduced into the other institutions of Huntsville and Madison County at an early date. tuftrut 5au?rnmrut Student Government was introduced in the 1922-23 term. It has proved to be very successful.

Rid it of its red color and the “principle” of silver would assert itself, so that silver would remain. With a certain amount of philos- opher’s stone (itself a mysterious “principle”) a has; metal could be converted into a quantity of gold a million times as great. This all sounded so “practical” that Kings listened credulously, but the only tangible result was that they were enriched with much bogus gold. Scientific theorists like Robert Boyle (1627-1691) proved more “practical ” by testing matter, dis- covering its composition and then drawing scientific conclusions that could thereafter be usefully and honestly applied. Alchemists con- jectured and died; he experimented and lived. Using the air pump Boyle un- dertook a “theoretical” but sci- entific experimental study of the atmosphere and discovered that it had a “spring” in it, or in other words that it could expand. He also established the connection between the boiling point of water and atmospheric pressure, a very “theoretical” discovery in his day but one which every steam engi- neer now applies. He was the first to use the term “analysis” in the modern chem- ical sense, the first to define an element as a body which cannot be subdivided and from which compounds can be reconstituted. Boyle’s work has not ended. Today in the Research Labora- tories of the General Electric Company it is being continued. Much light has there been shed on the chemical reactions that occur in a vessel in which a nearly perfect vacuum has been produced. One practical result of this work is the vacuum tube which plays an essential part in radio work and roentgenology. Gene general Office r al|f|ElecA;ric Company s,h,� .cMy,Mr. W. W.
